Nationwide protests erupt in India after a doctor's murder in Kolkata, demanding justice and stronger safety measures.
Protests erupt across India following the rape and murder of a doctor in Kolkata, with doctors intensifying strikes for justice.
Alongside the fury of ordinary Indians, doctors stepped up their own demonstrations and strikes on Friday, with protests also held in the capital New Delhi and other cities over the brutal killing. Protester Sumita Datta, 59, said she was disgusted that such a brazen and violent attack could have been carried out “in a well-known hospital in the heart of the city”.“So many people are out here to take part in the protests,” Datta added. “It feels like hope is being reignited.”
Indian media has reported that the murdered doctor was found in the teaching hospital’s seminar hall, suggesting she had gone there for a rest during a long shift.
